The warm vocals beautifully portray a worldview where wistfulness and nostalgia intersect with hope for the future.
This song shares its title with their legendary mini-album, “Sora Ippai ni Kanaderu Inori,” which topped the charts as an indie release in August 2005, and serves as a symbol of their fresh new start.
It’s a motivational anthem not only for those who were once encouraged by their music, but also for anyone seeking a gentle push at a turning point in life.

I’m overwhelmed by the relentless onrush of sound.

Born from an episode with his mother, the song’s lyrics—singing of the preciousness of time spent with loved ones—beautifully align with his delicate, deeply emotive vocals.
Released in February 2006, it topped the Oricon chart and was later included on the acclaimed album Coward.
It’s a deeply resonant number that gently colors nights when you want to reflect in solitude or when you’re thinking of your hometown.
Momentum for cleaningLucky Kilimanjaro
Lucky Kilimanjaro is a band that operates under the theme of “making every day around the world dance.” This track, included on their April 2023 album Kimochy Season, offers a unique perspective by reframing heartbreak as the positive act of “cleaning.” Its danceable, house-based beat and groovy brass tones feel good to the ears, and rather than dwelling on the pain of parting, they seem to deliver a refreshing push to move forward.
By decisively “throwing away” past memories and lingering attachments, you’re reborn into a new self.
That strong resolve is expressed through a sound brimming with playfulness.
It’s a stylish dance tune you’ll want to play while tidying your room to shake off a finished romance.
And then the two fell in love.Toko Furuuchi
This is a ballad by Toko Furuuchi that captures the magical moment when two friends’ hearts quietly align and love begins.

The refined, stylish sound woven by piano and strings seems to express the sweet, aching exhilaration you feel when you’re sure your love is mutual.
The classic album Koi (Love), which includes this track, was released in August 1997, reached No.
2 on the Oricon chart, and won the Album Award at the 39th Japan Record Awards.

Blue Wind ~Opening Theme~Kazuki Kurihara
This piece is striking for its orchestral melodies that carry both power and poignancy.
Composed by Kazuki Kurihara, it was used as the opening theme for the 2001 NHK Taiga drama Hojo Tokimune.
The music conveys a wind-like sense of speed that races through a turbulent era, and from each note you can feel the protagonist’s firm resolve to face a national crisis.
Hints of Mongolian throat-singing evoke the story’s grand scale.
It is included on the album NHK Taiga Drama Hojo Tokimune Original Soundtrack, released in April of the same year.
